Facebook detailed targeting is broken down into three distinct categories: Demographics, interest and behaviours. 

Demographics allows Facebook advertisers to target things like education levels, financials status and life events. These are more traditional marketing slices. 

In contrast, interests are the psychographics of users. This is more of a modern way of approaching marketing. The list we have below is everything Facebook shows you, but there are thousands of hidden interests on Facebook ads manager.

Facebook Ads Interests Full (Sorta) List

Facebook ads manager provides an interest section in the Detailed Targeting area of the ad group builder.

Facebook Ads Interests List audience eye

Interests is where a Facebook marketer can select interests of users on the platform. If you’re doing marketing that involves psychographic targeting interests are the best way to build your audience.

With that said, the problem with the interest list Facebook gives us is that it isn’t exhaustive. You can’t see everything that is available from a targeting standpoint. For some categories the only way to find them is to search for a related topic and hope that Facebook returns a related result. 

A good way to illustrate this is by looking at the fitness options. Facebook only shows us seven types of fitness categories, but fitness is a huge category – there are way more than that.

 

 Say you’re building an audience for a CrossFit gym, you wouldn’t know CrossFit exists just going off Facebook’s suggested categories. The only way you want to find the related categories to CrossFit is by doing a search and hoping the results returned what you were looking for. 

What Audience Eye does is return all results to a category on one page so you can easily find these hidden Facebook interests.

Why Are Some Facebook Interests Hidden

Some Facebook interests are Hidden because interests are created dynamically everyday. Interests aren’t finite, they’re malleable due to people’s interests growing and changing. Interests are a representation of a group of people who share a commonalities. 

As a group becomes more defined on Facebook, Facebook creates audiences to capture these people. This dynamism makes it impossible for Facebook to show in their Detailed Targeting section all interests, because it is morphing every day.
